Adams Cripple Emerger Dry Fly Pattern
Our Adams Cripple Emerger can imitate the bug as it is sitting in the surface film vulnerable as an emerging insect, or crippled and just sitting on the surface film. It is effectively tied in a multitude of sizes ranging from sz 10 for larger dries to size 20. The Adams is an attractor pattern in that it doesn't imitate one insect in particular, but because of its light color shade can represent a multitude of insects and work effectively.
